It's a Small World: A Leap of Faith

Happy Leap Day Friends!?

Did you know it takes Earth 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 56 seconds to orbit the sun each year? And that if we didn’t account for this extra time by adding a bonus day to the calendar every four years, the seasons would begin to drift and over a period of 700 years, summers in the northern hemisphere would begin to occur in December. I know. Crazy!

In this month’s newsletter, I’m introducing you to a great realtor in Mill Valley, feeding you some tips that will give you an unfair advantage when selling your home and sharing a great new listing.

Take a leap of faith and read on.

The Marin Gold Medalist: Meet Dana Williams

Don’t let Dana’s relaxed vibe and easy smile fool you, the dude is deeply competitive. The same drive that made him a USA Cycling national champion and put him on the Canadian National Ski team, has now been redirected towards helping his clients achieve their real estate goals. Dana resides in Mill Valley (one of my favorite towns) with his wife and 3 children, and he serves all of Marin County with passion and expertise.?

You can meet him in the short video below and if you are considering any of the incredible communities in Marin for residential or investment purposes, I’d be thrilled to make an introduction.

Death, Taxes and...

It was Benjamin Franklin who coined the adage, “in this world, nothing is certain except death and taxes.” I trust he would have added a 3rd certainty had he experienced the Compass tech platform “… death, taxes and a relatively stress-free home selling experience.”

Compass CEO, Robert Reffkin, is on a mission to disrupt the real estate industry. And his “why” is pretty compelling. Raised by a single mom who happened to be a realtor, he watched her struggle to adapt to the digital age. This drove him to build the most empowering real estate platform in the world so that she would be able to offer her clients the most effective representation possible.

And the rest of us benefit from his vision.

Here are 3 examples that are but the tip of the iceberg.

Collections

Valuable for both Sellers and Buyers, Compass Collections is the best way to collaborate and communicate with your realtor as you uncover market insights that will increase your chances of success. Check out the Collection of Homes in Mandeville Canyon I've curated for you below

Concierge

What if you could receive a $40,000 infusion of cash with no fees or interest so you could refresh your home in advance of listing it?

Private Exclusives

Control who gets in to see your home and still reach thousands of agents and their interested buyers without accruing dreaded Days on Market.

When will I know?

"When do I know I'm Spider-Man?"

"You won't. It's a leap of faith, Miles."

With all due apologies to Miles Morales, my job is to ensure that you know when it's the right time to buy or sell. We do this by discussing your goals, analyzing all the data and walking through the various outcomes - pro and con.?

Now, will you still need to take a leap of faith? Sure, but you'll feel more confident knowing it's not simply blind faith.

This is the Art of Representation

IN ESCROW: South Beverly Glen

Sometimes the client wants to be discreet and move fast without compromising price. No open houses. No signs. No public facing marketing.

No problem!

The Compass Private Exclusive network (referenced above) gives me the ability to reach thousands of agents and by extension, their buyer clients, in a targeted one-on-one manner. This way I’m able to schedule private showings with serious buyers and minimize disruption to my client’s family life.

Does this mean we sacrifice quality with our marketing, staging and professionalism? Not a chance. We treat it no different than any other listing as you can see from the short promotional video below.?

Introduce on Tuesday. In Escrow on Friday.

Scheduled to close in 14 days.

What is the role of an "Agent?"

After 40+ years of representing the best interests of my clients, I’ve learned a few things. First and foremost: it’s about YOU not ME. My role is simply to help you get clear on your goals, provide opportunities that help you reach those goals, and then ensure you achieve those goals as effectively as possible.

If you know someone who could benefit from that level of advocacy, I'd be grateful for an introduction.

Thank you.

A native Angeleno, I grew up in a "show-biz family" and began my career as a third-generation theatrical agent impacting the careers of actors including the likes of Crispin Glover, Ray Liotta and Demi Moore. After beginning a family, I traded Sunset Blvd for Madison Avenue and spent the next 20 years in advertising, creating and implementing marketing strategies that drove new business growth, resulting in the successful onboarding of clients such as Coca-Cola, Comcast, Electronic Arts, Nike, Pinkberry, Princess Cruises and the US Army among many others.

I now apply those same principles of agency; integrity, accountability and hustle to my clients as we work together to define and fulfill their real estate strategies.
